Developments in science and technology allow futurists to predict the forthcoming living
conditions. In fact, it is possible to forecast the future by looking at recent technological
brake through, varying from genetics to cold fusion. For instance, one can easily propose
that humanity is increasing the speed of everything within a more diversified world.
However, this argument per se indicates the controversial enrichment of contemporary
society. On the one hand, increase in the speed shows that there is still a modernist
tendency which carries out the enlightenment heritage in the form of progress. On the
other hand, this speed contributes to diversification of everything [1] which for some
scholars represents time and space compression [2], for others the demise of grand
narratives for a more pluralistic world [3].
